Jakes was totally on board with the Faith-based intiative programs, putting $$$$ in his pocket. I don't think his motives are pure. Anyone can put on a backwards collar and say that he/she is a servant of God.

Obama Vows To Continue Fight To Keep Blackberry

Amid all the action leading up to Obama's inauguration it is easy to forget that there is still an issue very close to the President-Elect's heart that has yet to be resolved: that of the fate of his BlackBerry.

I don't know that I'll win, but I'm still–I'm still fighting it. And–but here's the point I was making, I guess, is that it's not just the flow of information. I mean, I can get somebody to print out clips for me, and I can read newspapers. What it has to do with is having mechanisms where you are interacting with people who are outside of the White House in a meaningful way. And I've got to look for every opportunity to do that–ways that aren't scripted, ways that aren't controlled, ways where, you know, people aren't just complimenting you or standing up when you enter into a room, ways of staying grounded.

Isn't this just adorable? :>) :>) BUT. he is SERIOUS!! :>) :>)

Once was Pennsylvania. Once was Ohio.

Each time, his face cracked and he had to amend his comments.

McCain Repeats Palin's Attack On Fruit Fly Research

[NOTE: Soooo, you wonder where her angst against "FRUIT FLIES" came from?]

John McCain reached back into the presidential campaign on Wednesday to pull out a scientific critique that had first been made by his running mate, Alaska Governor Sarah Palin, when she ridiculed funding for fruit fly research. In a late-October speech, Palin noted that the research was going on in “Paris, France” and added “I kid you not.”

During the campaign, Palin's criticism of fruit-fly research was heavily attacked by the scientific community, which argued that fruit flies, because of their brief life-spans, make up a cornerstone of scientific and medical research. In 1933, Thomas Hunt Morgan won a Nobel Prize for his work with fruit flies, which showed how genes are passed on through chromosomes. [She didn't learn this in any of those 5 colleges!]

Palin was considered at the time to have been scientifically freelancing, but McCain's comments today indicate that the objection to fruit-fly research came from the top.

***shakin' my head*** WHEW!! :>)

O.K. I've heard of them; BUT I haven't quite hit that part of the 21st Century!! :>) :>)
